This invention relates to a
heat exchanger type burner base unit (100), comprising: a burner base (1) having: a burner air inlet for supplying burner air, an
exhaust gas inlet for drawing
exhaust gas, and a
combustion gas inlet; a
heat exchanger (20) connected to the burner base (1) having a
heat exchanger body (21), the heat exchanger body (21) having at least two separate flow channels for guiding counter-flowing fluids, and the heat exchanger body (21) further having an inner cavity (27) for forming or guiding through at least one
combustion gas conduit (31, 32); characterized in that the burner base (1) is designed as a flat burner base element (10) or includes a flat burner base element (10). 0); the burner base element (10) includes at least one gas passage opening (14) and / or at least one gas passage opening (13) and / or at least one opening, the at least one gas passage opening (14) being used to connect the burner
air interface (33) to a flow passage in the heat exchanger (20), the at least one gas passage opening (13) being used to connect the
exhaust gas interface (34) to one of the flow passages, and the at least one opening being used to connect to the
combustion gas interface (31, 32); a flat
support surface (10.3) is provided on the front side (10.1) of the burner base element (10) facing the heat exchanger (20) for connection; and the heat exchanger is integrally connected to the
support surface (10.3).
